It was Tuesday. Hi m.

Two weeks after the storm, the city has barely started picking up debris. I live on the parade route, so I'm guessing it's cancelled?

Day 5 after the storm and power is finally back on. My block was the last one. Feels personal.

Thanks

Ask them why the poorer neighborhoods were the last to get power restored.

There are still trees hanging on power lines in my alley. It has been four days.

Looks like my neighborhood (Old Town) is the last to get service in Bemidji. Coincidentally, we're also maybe the least wealthy neighborhood.

@mprnews.org Do you have a reporter covering the ongoing disaster in Bemidji?

Day 4 without power in Bemidji. There are no crews working in my neighborhood. Trees are still hanging from power lines and on houses. Is there an update from anyone? Did the workers all go home?

I've dunked on Bemidji plenty in the past but it is my town and I'm mourning it. You may have seen photos but they don't reflect the true span of the destruction from the hurricane force winds early Saturday morning. This town will never be the same. Unbelievably there were no storm-related deaths.

Still sitting here in Old Town waiting for power after 3 days, I see the electric crews over by Lake Blvd working diligently. Hmmmmm. #bemidji

We're all kind of shell-shocked over here still. So much work to do.

3 days after the storm. #Bemidji

Yeah

Three days after the storm, and I'm still without power here in Old Town. #Bemidji

Came back to Bemidji after three days. Still no power. Still a disaster zone.

Double

The merganser squaking on my neighbor's roof seems out of place.

Carl!

You have a lovely radio voice, Tammy. It's great. But could you tell Kari Hedlund for me that she has the greatest radio voice ever? It's incredible, like stop playing the new music and just keep talking. Thanks.

There are so many people in the world, it's fine.

@johnlurie.bsky.social John Lurie and I had some lovely interactions back in the day on Twitter. I think he's a remarkable human. It was delightful. I doubt he remembers, but hi John.

lovely
